USED LEAD ACID BATTERIES
ULAB’s contain heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, selenium, nickel, and others which contaminate environment if improperly disposed, contaminated ACID in the battery may drain through the land fill and destroy the plants and spoil the underground water resources.
• ULAB’s, considered waste and harmful to our environment, recycling it is the best for the planet and human . Recycling keeps heavy metals out of landfills and maintain clean air, It also saves resources because of recovering plastic and metals which can be used again .

PROCESSING OF ULAB’S
• The Operation process of Rasass : Collecting scrap batteries from market.
Crush it in special hammer.
Segregate the parts into paste, metal, polypropylene and acid.
Acid will be treated chemically to produce Sodium Sulphate as by product.
The Lead metal and past will be treated in very special rotary furnace where Lead bullion is formed.
The Lead is finally refined and casted then shipped to clients.
